Zian stopped the bike in front of his favorite place

Neha got down the bike and looked at large iron gate with the name written Little Texas

"What's this place??" Neha asked

"It's a ranch" Zian said as he helped unbuckling Neha's helmet

"Why are we here??"

"This is my favorite place here in Delhi."

"Texas is somewhere abroad right??"

"Yes. America. This place is called Little Texas because the owner of this place is from Texas. He had migrated over here years ago and with his experience at working as a cowboy in some ranch in Texas, he started one here." Zian said and Neha grinned

"Cowboy?? Like they show in movies and all. Wearing battered jeans ,long thick boots and hats??"

"The very same"

"Oh my!! Do you have a cowboy dress Zi zi. You will look totally hot as a cowboy" Neha said dreamily

Zian looked at her intensely

"Really???" He asked huskily

Neha looked down blushing

Damn her mouth and its blabbering

Was there any need to tell him that he is hot

He probably knows that already. But then she was just being honest.

Isn't honesty the best policy

He looks smoking hot always.

But in a cowboy get up....hayeee . Neha sighed dreamily

"I would kill to know what is running through your head now Neha" Zian said leaning towards her and she again blushed

"I love the way you blush Neha." Zian said tucking an imaginary strand of hair behind her ears

Where did the goodboy Zian go?? Why does his hands have a brain of its own whenever Neha is around

Neha blushed harder on that and Zian grinned

"You are turning into a tomato Neha. There are lots of animals in the ranch. I don't want them to mistake you for a tomato and eat you" Zian said chuckling and Neha huffed

"I don't like tomatoes. Tell me I'm turning into a strawberry." Neha said and Zian gaped at her

Where did the shy blushing Neha go in a snap??

"Tell me zi-zi. Tell me I'm turning into a strawberry ,or an apple. Or may be a cherry. Anything but tomato" Neha whined and Zian shook his head

"Okay my darling strawberry. Now let's go in and meet Mr and Mrs Lassiter" With that Zian took her hands in his ,which seemed to become a habit for him and walked inside the ranch

Amar found his Mirrie where he expected to find her

In the library

But he had expected her to be writing, instead she was simply sitting there staring into the space

He bent down a little and whispered in her ears

"Penny for your thoughts??" Zada jerked out of her dream world when she saw Amar

Her heart started beating fast and she could feel her palms sweating

Is he going to ask her about what happened in the cafe??

And if he did, what's she going to say??

"Heyy. You okay??" He asked worried and Zada smiled
